Just wondering if I can use durofoam 1.5" white styrofoam from Home Depot under a 120g glass trim Aquarium tank.. or should I get something thinner like the 1" but I can compress it with my fingers from the edge of it .. not sure what else I can use..

Thanks in advance

The high density foam is better (pink stuff), but you're unlikely to have a problem with the durafoam. Level the stand at the base as best you can and fill the tank.

My 6' square tube steel stand for my 125g was not level. The tank would rock back and forth on two of the corners. Quite a bit actually. Once filled, everything settled; no problems, no foam.

OK, I have been following this since the start. How bloody off level are the things you folk are working with??

Inch and a half foam in a 4ish foot tank?
Those stand on rubber mat things are over a half inch?

How and why are things so bad?

I am meaning no disrespect here, I really am just curious why it is so off level or if I am missing something.
